Towards Safer Stadia

In May 1991 the Institution published Appraisal of sports grounds, resulting from the work of its task group set up after events at Hysel, Bradford, and Birmingham, and following publication of the Popplewell Inquiry report. Appraisal is complementary to the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds, HMSO, November 1990, and incorporates, where appropriate, the recommendations of the Taylor Report which contained ‘recommendations about the needs of crowd control and safety at sports grounds.’
